Silent nights in
With a stunning, super-low 85dB noise floorĀ (per Stereophile standard) theĀ iPhono3 Black LabelĀ is out there. One of the quietest phono stages. Period.
Like any good phono stage, it amplifies the signal,Ā not the noise. The whisper-quiet noise floor is there for any home audio system to discern. Take it for a test drive from the comfort of your favourite listening chair.
Exacting equalisation
Precise EQ curveĀ and explosive 108dB dynamic range. Your listening room becomes a concert hall.
The AMR PH-77, the $12,000 larger sibling with 23 equalisation curves, remains the vinyl benchmark to this day. Trickle-down tech used in theĀ iPhono3 Black LabelĀ means it features the 6 most popular stereo EQ curves.
Try the infamous 1812 Overture ātorture testā. Wonāt be the same again. The iPhono3 Black Label will have you trying ājust one more LPā into the wee, small hours.
Set and forget
Your pickup (stylus) has been lovingly crafted. Whether itās MM or MC, no two cartridges are identical in performance.
TheĀ iPhono3 Black Label, like the AMR PH-77 from which it descends, enables you to set the precise load/gain forĀ the cartridge you have. Squeeze every last drop of performance out of your precious pickup.
